I forget what depressing bit of news made me aware about how little I know about the global planet patterns beyond the obvious ones like the gulf stream, but it gave me an idea to try and find a way to make me more aware of the planet’s ebb and flow.

A little looking around the Internet later, I found this wonderful site, which gives an up to date animation of various metrics for the planet around the sea, air, particulates, and pollutants, which is simply called earth.
